AB 208 Moves Through First Hearing with Bipartisan Support

Legislation to help protect the nearly 2,500 existing tentative tract maps and parcel maps by statutorily extending tentative subdivision and parcel maps for an additional 24 months was approved Wednesday by an Assembly committee.

AB 208, by Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, chair of the Appropriations Committee, was approved by the Local Government Committee on consent and with full bipartisan support. Fuentes continues to be a stalwart supporter of the homebuilding industry as demonstrated by his authoring of AB 333 in 2009, and again this year with AB 208, the California Building Industry Association reports.

AB 208 will next be heard in the Assembly Committee on Housing and Community Development on April 6.
